Hi list, I've got a little bit of experience with freeBSD on amd64 and
am giving it a go on my powerBook (which formerly had Fedora Linux
installed on it, although I do still have an OS X disc if I need to
diskutil in that).  I'm reading online that I should be able to boot
into 8.1 install disc, start a shell, and use gpart.  However, when I
boot 8.1-ppc, I go to Fixit > Start Shell from CD/DVD....  I am told
to insert the Live BSD disc.  What is this live BSD disc if not what I
just booted from?

Here is the image I downloaded:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/powerpc/ISO-IMAGES/8.1/FreeBSD-8.1-RELEASE-powerpc-disc1.iso

There is a boot-only image there...but I figured this would have fewer
features rather than more so haven't tried it yet.
Also a disc2 and disc3, each of which are only 1.2mb in size.

Any tips?
